 Authors wanted! (Mar 7, 2005) -- Have you ever thought about writing for 
 QST? If so, we'd like to hear from you! An informative Author's Guide is 
 available on the ARRL Web site. We can mail you a hard copy in exchange 
 for a self-addressed, stamped envelope to QST Author's Guide, ARRL, 225 
 Main St, Newington, CT 06111. While we will consider all articles 
 directly related to Amateur Radio, we are particularly looking for 
 concise articles (no more than 2500 words) written at a basic level that 
 teach QST readers something practical. A few examples: How to get 
 involved with a net; how to hit the road for a county-hunting 
 expedition; tips for operating HF mobile; how to use beacons; how to 
 select the best type of feed line, and how to organize a mini 
 DXpedition. If you have some expertise in a particular area and a knack 
 for writing clearly at a basic level, we want to hear from you. You need 
 not be a published author to write for QST! Good quality color photos 
 and illustrations are a plus. Interested? Send your article via e-mail 
 or to QST Articles, ARRL, 225 Main St, Newington, CT 06111. Authors of 
 QST articles are compensated at the rate of $65 per published page. 
 
 
 
Get a reality check!   Thanks to the League and the FCC today's majority 
of "ham radio operators" are feeble-minded oafs, 20 questions removed 
from CB.   It is a chore for them to link a few coherent words together to 
spew on the local repeaters, let alone asking them to commit advanced 
thoughts to paper.    And for $65!   Yeah right!   The league is taking in 
a bundle every month in advertising revenue from companies selling push 
button boxes to former CB ops, now ham radio appliance operators.   The 
League could easily afford to pay $450 per published page, and it would 
never even put a nick in their budget.    At least at $450 the League would 
be paying an almost fair publishing price.   If you think the League, the 
FCC, 
or Riley Hollingsworth have the best interests of ham radio in their hearts, 
then I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. 
ROTFLMAO!
